Bit of a soggy drive up to Twillingate, actually to the Dildo Run Provincial Park. This area is all located on New World Island, which is connected to this particular arm with a causeway. A small park, it is well maintained, with nice well treed sites.
Heading towards Twillingate, we stopped about halfway at Grand Falls for a couple of nights. Sometimes a couple of nights to chill is a good thing, get a little organizing done, then hit the road.

Drove to the Berry Hill Campground in the morning. Although only about 80 klm away, it is kinda slow going as you are constantly going up and over the mountains. The road is actually in good shape, with well placed passing lanes. The views are quite nice, especially when you crest a mountain.
Headed west off the Trans Can towards Gros Morne. The park was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987, for its unique and impressive geological features. We first headed to the south part of the park, where the Tablelands are found.
It is immediately apparent as you drive off the ferry that Newfoundland is a very different sort of place. A mix of boreal forests, rocky barrens, and numerous lakes.
